Back to the future - Interacting with threadiverse communities through Usenet / NNTP
-
A few months ago I threw this question out into the void - "what if you could access the fediverse through your Usenet reader??" and got almost no response. Still, the idea had lodged in my brain and wouldn't go away so this weekend I caved in and built the thing. Hat tip to the author of the excellent nntpserver package that did all the hard stuff.
I look forward to seeing someone's screenshots of fediverse posts on a Commodore 64, some day.
This will be released as a part of PieFed 1.7, coming soon.

Looks like NodeBB didn't receive the video part of my post, so here is the link to watch the screencast of using a Usenet client (Thunderbird) to access the fediverse - https://media.piefed.social/posts/L3/Pa/L3PaYgCLl5AH48V.mp4

@rimu - Is the goal to do this to show it can be done? Or is usenet groups still more active than I expect or remember?
